Switching from MTP to USB

I am not able to sync my device to my computer. It did allow me to sync one CD to the MP3 Player when it was in USB mode.
Now it's stuck in MTP. Can it be switched back in any way other than pushing the USB/MTP button? I push the button and nothing happens.

How do I get the device to sync to the computer? It keeps saying there was an error so my device may not copy properly.

I had this same problem and was able to solve it. Just go into Control Panel (make sure it's in Classic View)-> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager, right click the GPX icon under Protable Devices and then click unistall. Then disconnect and reconnect the player. Windows will automatically install the drivers and that's it, you can now go into USB mode again. Hope it helps.

For NS-DA1G and NS-DA2G: If you are receiving a SYNC notice, your DRM media license has expired. If you are using a media manager like Best Buy Digital Media Store or Windows Media Player. you will first need to authorize the player as an MTP device (device authorized to play Digital Rights Management song files) and then re-acquire the licenses for the tracks. There should be a button that allows this function in your media software.
